This video, titled "What To Do While You Wait," offers a spiritual and practical guide for periods of life when you feel stuck or believe God is silent. Using the relatable example of waiting for a delayed flight in Nigeria, Bishop FEB reassures the audience that God's perceived silence is not a sign of His unreliability, but rather an opportunity for preparation. The message is a powerful call to action while in a state of inaction. Instead of becoming anxious, viewers are encouraged to use this time to pray and to follow through on the last instruction they received from God. The central idea is that waiting isn't passive; it's a dynamic period where strength is renewed, and God is actively working to position you for your next step. The sermon ultimately offers a message of hope, affirming that God has a plan and the delay is simply part of the journey to your intended destination.
Silence as Preparation: The video suggests that what feels like God's silence is actually a time of divine preparation, where you are being positioned for what is next [00:35].
Pray and Follow Last Instructions: The speaker advises using the waiting period to pray and to continue following the last command or instruction God gave you [00:52].

In this video, "What To Do While You Wait - Part 2," Bishop FEB continues to build on the theme of navigating periods of delay. The central message is a powerful warning against "freezing" or becoming paralyzed by doubt when God's instructions don't immediately produce results. Drawing from the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, the speaker encourages viewers to engage with "whatever your hands find to do" and to do it with all their might. The message uses the story of Peter walking on water as a vivid illustration: when Peter focused on Jesus, he walked on the water, but the moment he listened to a voice of doubt, he began to sink. The speaker reassures us that even when we feel like we are sinking, Christ is always there to lift us up. The video is a call to continuous, forward movement, reminding us that even small, seemingly mundane tasks are part of God’s plan and a testament to our obedience.
Don't Freeze: The primary advice is to avoid becoming paralyzed by doubt during a delay between a divine instruction and its fulfillment [00:15].
Keep Working: The video references Ecclesiastes to advise doing "whatever your hands find to do" with all your might while you wait [00:23].
Learn from Peter: The story of Peter walking on water is used to illustrate the danger of listening to a voice of doubt and taking your eyes off Jesus, which will cause you to sink [01:04].
Christ Is Always There: The video offers a message of hope, assuring viewers that even if they begin to sink, Christ is always there to pick them up [01:35].
